I got the Autobahn package, but I've never driven a new 7 without it, so I can't say for sure the impact it makes.

It has a tight turning circle in parking lots, so that may be the 4-wheel steering at work. Lane changes are nice and direct, that may be it working as well.

The Road Preview is the biggest question mark for me. I was expecting it to function like the S-Class's Magic Body Control, but I don't feel an incredibly obvious and noticeable evening out of speed bumps and potholes. It could be that all of the demos I've seen of the Mercedes system are showcasing different terrain (speed tables, for example), and neither system is well-equipped to handle the types of road imperfections I'm talking about. I've never driven a 7 without it though, so it's possible getting in to one without the feature would make its benefits extremely apparent.
